Friends of Community Services

Burbank Housing strives to help our residents enhance the quality of their lives. We realize that community linkages are vital to the development of residents' abilities to achieve greater social and economic self-sufficiency. And we subscribe to the notion that we cannot do this alone. We are indebted to the organizations we work with, and are always looking for individuals and groups to help us support the members of our communities.

We welcome anyone interested to become involved in our efforts in a number of ways, such as:

• Sponsor an activity through financial or in-kind contribution
• Sponsor a particular property and contribute according to its specific needs
• General contributions
• Provide your own skills and talents to enrich the lives of others

To receive information about upcoming events and programs, to participate as a contributor or volunteer, or to find out more about Burbank Housing's Community Services Program, please contact Alexandra Jacobs, Community Services and Resource Manager, at our main office at 707-526-1020 ext. 280, or by e-mail at ajacobs@burbankhousing.org.
